Silver Armor

Absorb 18
Type Armor
Evade Penalty −8%
Value 3,750 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (7,500 G)
Found In Dwarf Cave
Silver Armor is a nice piece with very low Evade penalty for its Absorb. It's not strong enough to be useful for a FIGHTER, but any RedMAGE will be happy for the upgrade. You can find a suit in the Dwarf Cave Treasure vault long before you reach Crescent Lake where it is sold. It is quite valuable if you decide to sell it.

Silver Helmet

Absorb 6
Type Helmet
Evade Penalty −3%
Value 1,250 G

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)
Found In Floating Castle 2F, Gurgu Volcano B2, Titan's Tunnel
You will find a number of Silver Helmets throughout the game, but since only FIGHTERS (and NINJAS) can use them, you probably won't need too many. Fortunately they sell for a decent price. As Helmets go, they make a nice upgrade over the Iron Helmet, and should be equipped as soon as possible.

Silver Gauntlet

Absorb 6
Type Gloves
Evade Penalty −3%
Value 1,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)
Found In Gurgu Volcano B2, Ice Cave B3
The Silver Gauntlet is a nice upgrade for your FIGHTER, improving both Absorb and Evade compared to the Iron Gauntlet. You can save some money once you reach Crescent Lake by waiting until you find one in Gurgu Volcano.

Silver Dagger

Sprite
Damage 10
Crit 8%
Hit +15%
Value 400 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (800 G)
Found In Castle Coneria, Dwarf Cave, Marsh Cave B3
Once you get the mystic KEY, you'll inexplicably be rewarded with not one but three Silver Daggers. It's a good Weapon for your Bl.MAGE, but no other Class. If you just want one to equip, the easiest to get is in Castle Coneria. The other two can be sold for a quick 400 G each.

Silver Sword

Sprite
Damage 23
Crit 9%
Hit +15%
Val. 2,000 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake, ElfLand (4,000 G)
When you reach ElfLand, the Silver Sword is far and away the best Weapon available for your FIGHTER or RedMAGE. So much so, in fact, that you won't find or be able to buy anything better until you reach Crescent Lake (incidentally, the other town that sells this sword). This Weapon isn't really needed in the Marsh Cave, but it will help immensely against ASTOS (assuming the wielder survives to use it).

Silver Hammer

Sprite
Damage 12
Crit 9%
Hit +5%
Val. 1,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)
Found In Castle of Elf
The Silver Hammer is a long-overdue Weapon upgrade for your Wh.MAGE. It isn't a huge step up from the Iron Hammer sold in Coneria, but it does add 5 Hit Rate that is sorely needed. It is most easily found in the Castle of Elf after receiving the mystic KEY. You can buy more in Crescent Lake, but unless you have multiple Wh.MAGES, it is unlikely that you will want to.

Silver Axe

Sprite
Damage 25
Crit 10%
Hit +10%
Val. 2,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (4,500 G)
Found In Gurgu Volcano B2
Like other axes, the Silver Axe gives up Hit Rate in favor of Damage, though by the time you find one in Gurgu Volcano, your FIGHTER may be level 16, at which point he is not giving up any hits using it. Whether to use it in favor of the Silver Sword is up to you. In any case it is probably not worth buying one of these in Crescent Lake unless you have multiple FIGHTERS.

The Mythril Shield is another solid upgrade that you can find before you're likely to buy one. Four extra Defense at no penalty to Evasion (compared to the Iron Shield) is nothing to scoff at.

The Mithril Shld is the staple shield of FFVI for much of the World of Balance. It's a no-frills defensive item. You can get your hands on one very early in the game by stealing it from Mog while protecting Terra in Narshe.
